Suggestions for solo build

Hey guys, I’m looking to start my second play through, loved the story and combat. First time playing a game in the genre and it was a bit of an adjustment. I did it without guides on an easy difficulty and struggled a bit with building out multiple characters that synergize and are fun to play together. I’m kinda looking to play largely as a solo build where I maybe take side characters along for necessary quests or to modulate difficulty a bit. But the main thing is I’m not looking to build out and gear up multiple characters since I found that part of the game a bit tedious. I’m not looking to play on honor mode/ tactician. Would appreciate any specific or general suggestions on builds that you guys have enjoyed! Thanks!
